Well i haven't been blogging but its just been to crazy. I was laid out by some mysterious illness that came out of no where! I mean i was fevering chills body aches i felt dizzy my kidneys were hurting. It was terrible! Plus as usual my husband was in the field all last week came in for a day and a half and then off he went again until late wed :(. I swear that man cant catch a break. Its just wearing on the family, and it makes it hard to really plan or do anything of substance because between the kids school schedules and Highlanders work schedule and all the other "stuff" its a miracle we sandwich it all in somehow....
But anyways i am up and and sort of at em albeit in a 50 % mode which i suppose is better than nothing :).
Got the rest of my thanksgiving stuff accomplished, i have 1 more turkey to give away to someone today and then in the quiet hours tonight i "hope" to plan my black Friday madness route. I am unsure how this year will go but i hope at least it will be worth my lack of sleep lol.
Let us all remember to be so ever thankful for all we have, AND all we don't. You know sometimes NOT getting what we want is a blessing in itself. We just never figure that out until waaaaay later down the road hehe.
As time carries on and i wake and sleep and dream again in and out of days i try and wrap myself up in comfort of where i am at this moment, that no moment is better than the one we are in right now , no day more important than today and know that it is so important to value what we have before us...i am fond of looking at my husband and telling him our children will never be this age again , this tall again, this cuddly again, this __ you fill in the blank. Only by saying that and knowing its worth can i truly understand why today is a gift.
There are many days i feel like the stump in the book the giving tree and i waver between hope and burn out and then some star drops right out of the sky into my heart and i am all ablaze again ready to light up the world. I like to wake up on days like that. Sure i have my moments in the abyss. But even when I'm out there just floating i am looking up thinking and ill be up again , yes i will.
I fluctuate and expand and contrast in accordance with all things that flow through my life, and the Lord sees my heart , and he hears my prayers, and what moves me , and when i have these God Wink moments i like to share..... .
For this time last year was a time that i already spoke of in my last post , but also was a time i got to reunite with a long lost friend, and he has been on my mind so much as of late and as i kept thinking about what a good time i had having him here last year visiting in from Hawaii and how sad it kind of feels he wont be here this year , i am reminded in a flash at the almighty power God has and how we cannot hide anything from him. And my doorbell rings and its my neighbor and he is leaving out of town for the holidays and wants us to watch his house and as he gives me his garage door opener he also says here we wont eat this pineapple its very fresh still so i hope you maybe like pineapple at thanksgiving lol.
I take it and close the door and am wordless for in my heart i hear the Lord tell me to not be sad my friend cannot be here again this year but to rejoice at what a wonderful memory i have of such a wonderful holiday time and wonderful friend and that yes again this year there will be pineapple to enjoy.
Rejoice. And the tree was happy.....
